Lava shell massages and hot stone massages are both heat therapy treatments that can help relieve tension and pain. The main difference is that lava shells heat up from within, while hot stones are heated from the outside.

How they work:

• Lava shell massage: Uses polished shells filled with a heated gel to massage the body. The shells can radiate heat for up to two hours.
• Hot stone massage: Uses heated stones placed on the body to massage the muscles.

Benefits:

• Pain relief: Both types of massage can help reduce pain and inflammation.
• Improved circulation: Both types of massage can help increase circulation.
• Relaxation: Both types of massage can help reduce muscle stress and promote relaxation.

Techniques:

• Lava shell massage
  Polished Lava shells are used as an extension of the hands to massage the body. They can use light strokes to loosen muscles, or firmer pressure to work out knots.
• Hot stone massage
  Heated stones are placed on specific parts of the body to massage the muscles.
